Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Page 446

Thinking of what Nagumo Chiyo had hinted to himself at home during the day, Ueda Shana pinched his waist with hatred: "I don't believe you enough? I can't help you! I can only listen to everything." your!"

This is the true helplessness of the eldest lady.

Thinking back to the time when I was ambitiously studying financial knowledge, I thought that I was a student of the University of Tokyo at any rate. In the future, I could be his inseparable helper, helping him to stabilize the Ueda family and the wealth he created, and guarding together The happiness of two people.

The results of it?

How can this guy use her?

In terms of finance, there is the more professional and experienced Maehara Kumina, who is now going to the United States to raise a fetus and give birth.

Oh, and a more experienced Fukaya pear.

In terms of social experience, on the bright side, there are Runa Onodera, who survived alone with Miko, and Zhao Yuanxi, who has studied and worked all over the world; in the gray area, Kinoshita Hidekaze, who has worked hard for most of his life, regards him as a firm ally; and in the dark area, Irie Yuta, who has been an extremist since he was a child, is loyal to him.

Even people like Yosuke Ueno and Yosui Akayan have grown up to be able to be independent now.

And Ueda Shana is a woman, and in order to stabilize the relationship between the Ueda family and this guy, she has either been giving birth or is preparing to have a baby for several years.

After grabbing him and getting a stronger hug, Ueda Shana couldn't help but be at a loss.

Now, the things he has to face are more and more beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even a mature middle-aged man like his father and Hideka Kinoshita can only follow his command to do the corresponding things.

What can I do to help?

Worrying and coming up with ideas seems completely pointless.

"Xana." Tao Zhiming said suddenly, "It's coming soon. The duel with Horikawa Nobuhiko will end within this year. At that point, the whole plan will come to fruition. We, the Ueda family, Brother Xiufeng, and the Mori family ... In the future, I will be the major shareholder of a new consortium of Nihong, and I will firmly control it for the rest of my life. After that, I will be safe enough. Therefore, this time I must show enough strength and ability."

Why did Nobuhiko Horikawa notice something was wrong in advance?

Because Tao Zhiming needs to declare his firm steps to climb to the top of Neon!

The attack on Nobuhiko Horikawa and the entire First Quanye Consortium, in addition to the previous arrangements, must have a frontal attack.

This time, it can no longer just be cleverly borrowed.

He can already show most of his cards!

So Tao Zhiming smiled confidently, holding her face in his hands: "You can start kindergarten when you are wise, you can go to Zhiming Trust as the president, and protect the wealth we want to pass on."

"Eh?" Ueda Shana felt a little guilty, "I... am not only the supervisor of the family trust assets?"

"Of course we can't just pay attention to whom our family trust assets will be distributed to." Tao Zhiming joked with a bad smile, and then said seriously, "Zhiming trust will be very important in the future, and it will involve many people's secrets. I need the most trusted person, understand?"

"...the most trusted person?"

"Of course it's you!" Tao Zhiming said decisively, "You can't help me with this matter now, mainly because of the help of my father. But in the future, I will need your help for Zhiming's trust!"

Tao Zhiming, who is as fine as a human being, can't see what kind of state Ueda Shana is in now, and a few words will make her emotional.

But the words are true.

Shana Ueda was concerned for his safety, and that was kind.On the other hand, she also has a strong sense of gap.

Being needed is sometimes a very delicate emotion.

Ueda Shana is no longer worried about what he needs to face now. It is enough for a man to show strong confidence in one thing and have a brilliant past record.

Of course, she still reprimanded and rejected Tao Zhiming's suggestion in embarrassment: "I have to face the most dangerous person you mentioned tomorrow, can't I save my energy today?"

Tao Zhiming was speechless.

So, after dealing with Horikawa Nobuhiko, is it okay to come back?

……

At this moment, in Horikawa Nobuhiko's home, Takagi Hitohachi's wife and children, including Takagi Yoko, were chatting with Horikawa Nobuhiko's wife and children.

And Horikawa Nobuhiko and Takagi Renpachi went to the tea room upstairs.

At the dinner table, many memories of the past have been recalled.

When you get here, it's time to really talk.

The Neon Tea Ceremony originated from the Kingdom of Xia, but since its development, it has its own style and habits.

Horikawa Nobuhiko went outside the door of the tea room, where there was an elegant water tank.Horikawa Nobuhiko washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, and Takagi Hitohachi also sat in the same way.

The sense of ceremony is full, which means that before entering the tea room, calm down and get rid of all distracting thoughts.

However, the things to be discussed are clearly full of philistines.

Nobuhiko Horikawa got ready, but took off his shoes first, and knelt outside the lattice door of the tea room: "Takagi-san, please."

"...Master Chairman." Takagi Renpachi was a little at a loss.

Horikawa Nobuhiko earnestly performed the host's etiquette, and responded with a smile: "After entering the tea room, there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. Call me Nobuhiko."

There was only one guest, and Nobuhiko Horikawa insisted on asking him first.

The tea room of Nobuhiko Horikawa's house is a wide room, and in the middle of the tea room is a pottery charcoal stove and tea kettle.

After all, Takagi Renpachi is also the executive of the dignified First Quanye Bank, so he knows that today is the most formal etiquette.

Horikawa Nobuhiko has done enough for the attitude, etiquette, environment, and atmosphere represented by the four rules of harmony, respect, purity, and silence.

Among the seven, the tea has been prepared in advance, the charcoal is put away, the tea room is cool, the flower arrangement is fresh, and the rain gear is also placed there.Needless to say, keeping the time is already at his home.And the last one is to always keep customers in mind.

Is this the attitude Horikawa Nobuhiko wants to convey to him?

Horikawa Nobuhiko poured the sencha himself, and didn't ask any questions in a hurry.

It's still a long time.

Takagi Renpachi knew that he invited his family to the family banquet, and if he couldn't go to the Hachiman Shrine without worry tomorrow, then his family might have to stay here for a "good get-together".

So how much etiquette and atmosphere in front of you, it will appear how fake everything is.

Come on, Renpachi, imagining the state in the morning, the acting needs to explode!

There is no way, after all, according to Nobuhiko Horikawa, this is a matter of life and death.

The atmosphere downstairs was as usual, and the women at home naturally didn't know what kind of storm their master was dealing with outside.Takagi Renpachi's wife is just like in the past, deliberately flattering the wife of her husband's immediate boss.As for Nobuhiko Horikawa's wife, she is polite, with the reserved arrogance of a superior person.

Upstairs, after Horikawa Nobuhiko invited Takaki Renbapin to have tea, he sighed and said frankly: "Rinpachi, I have been training you as the next president, you don't deny that, do you?"

"...Brother Nobuhiko, Renpachi has always kept it in his heart, and he is very grateful for his cultivation!" Gao Mu Renpachi bowed.

Nobuhiko Horikawa nodded slightly: "You know that I am sincerely participating in the current plan and doing my best to work toward the common goal. Tao Jun only said that I have never been involved because of the Iwasaki Tatsuyuki under the Sany framework at that time. It’s an excuse to give an explanation for attacking him. We set up the First Quanye Trust Bank here, and he set up a well-known trust on his side. Isn’t the share we reserved for him the best explanation?”

He raised his head and looked at Gao Mu Renpachi: "What is the reason why he wants you to replace me? The position of president of the First Quanye Bank will be yours sooner or later. Can you I decided to let it go, am I not willing to let it go now? Compared with the risk of me completely betraying the plan, I really can't figure out the purpose of doing so. If you want you to replace me in the future, why should I be alerted now ? Now that I am alerted, how can I guarantee that I will still advance the original plan?"

Takagi Renpachi said truthfully: "Brother Nobuhiko, I don't understand either. It's probably because of Fukumoto-san and Kijima-san. Is there really anything that can make you succumb?"

"I was unwilling to be reconciled to the gap between my harvest and my dedication, so I was willing to sacrifice those old guys and achieve my goal. If the things involved with Fukumoto made me succumb, wouldn't it be even worse than the previous situation?" Horikawa Nobuhiko's eyes were full of coldness, "Doesn't this make me worse than death?"

Takagi Renpachi remembered the gun in the daytime. He really had the determination to fight to the death at that time, which proved that what he thought was far more serious than what he said now.

Seeing that Takagi Renpachi didn't speak, Horikawa Nobuhiko looked at him sincerely: "Ninpachi, what did they plan? Did they tell you?"

Takagi Renpachi took a sip of tea slowly, it doesn't matter even if he acted like he was thinking and thinking about how to deal with him now.

The balance of power between the two sides was completely out of balance.

A dead fellow Taoist will not die a poor daoist, Gao Mu Renpachi just has no choice.

So right now, he had to give him a reason why he didn't have a choice, and continue to play this scene.

"...That day." Takagi Renpachi said, "At the end of last year, the day I went to see Anzhai-kun and Nojima-kun, I said that I was entertained by them on the yacht at night, but in fact, I met a lot of people that night. .”

Horikawa Nobuhiko was shocked, and it really started from the year before last.

So why not give him an explanation for what happened at that time is a complete excuse.

"A lot of people are there. Kaibu-san, Miyazawa-san, Hashimoto-san..." Takagi Hitohachi mentioned many people, but he didn't mention Kijima Genichi, Tanaka Sakae, Haruka Haruka and Fukaya Riko, "Brother Nobuhiko , It’s actually very simple. What they value most is not the interests of the First Quanye Foundation itself, but the Komeito Party under the Yawata Research Association. This is the strongest card in our hand, and it is impossible for you to let it go, but I But because he was just a subordinate who was doing business, he was able to let go."

Horikawa Nobuhiko fell silent.

Takagi Renpachi sighed: "Brother Nobuhiko, I have no choice. At that time, the Ministry of Finance actually prepared two sets of plans for the big inspection. One of them was that if I refused to cooperate, I would directly use the First Quanye Bank as the first The goal is to use the agreement I signed as a threat to let director Itochu clear the two of us out of the First Quanye Consortium. Afterwards, the First Quanye Consortium dominated by those stupid old guys is easier to deal with. And you Without the support of Daiichi Kanye, the influence on the Yawata Research Association will also decline.”

Horikawa Nobuhiko understood, that was the worst policy.

It is a better time to push the plan forward to this step and then make trouble, since there is no way out for him.

"You mean." Nobuhiko Horikawa asked, "They want to use the least labor-intensive way to kill three birds with one stone? In the end, they can not only exert the greatest influence on the Komeito Party, but also swallow the First Quanye Foundation, and force us to let Pay as much as possible?"

Gao Murenba nodded: "That's right, at the very beginning, the Sanyou Foundation's plan never considered the cooperation of our First Quanye Foundation. Even if we started to participate later, all their previous plans and preparations had already included We’re targeted. From their point of view, it’s not that we give up as much as possible, but that we’re going to take what they want.”

Horikawa Nobuhiko frowned: "But after all, I can help them greatly increase their success rate. As long as we continue to cooperate sincerely, it is inevitable that the Komeito Party will stand with them in the general direction."

"That's right. But in order to ensure such a result, they want a reliable internal support." Takagi Renpachi admitted frankly, "And what they need me to do does not violate the original plan. I just hope that I will continue to ask them Confirm that you are not secretly planning something else, and at the same time... cooperate to do one thing."

"What's the matter?" Horikawa Nobuhiko's eyes sharpened.

Takagi Renpachi gritted his teeth, and replied: "To help Hashimoto-san, in the past year or so, I have secretly met with other important figures of the Yawata Research Association and members of the Komeito Party many times. Brother Nobuhiko, now What they've achieved, I don't know."

Horikawa Nobuhiko suddenly changed color: "Hashimoto-san?"

"That's right. The fundamental purpose of Hashimoto-san's resignation is this." Takaki Renba nodded, "Don't you already know it? They plan to let those who are out of power take over during the turmoil of the neon economy Try it. In the end, it is Hashimoto-san who shoulders the task of returning to the overall situation."

"...So, the time is ripe now, and it's time to force me to accept the reality?"

Gao Muren fell to the ground: "Brother Nobuhiko! Although you have never let me get involved in the affairs of the dark world, I know that if they deal with you with all their strength, they will definitely succeed. Although after that, the Komeito party needs It takes more time, but it will have an effect sooner or later. The war between the financial groups has become 3 vs 3, but President Tao is an additional force, his strength, his strength..."

Gao Mu Renpachi raised his head, his eyes were red: "Brother! If we don't get to the current situation, then at that time, Chairman Tao will use his influence to attack with all his strength with the support of the other three consortia. The Daiichi Kanye Foundation! We signed such a secret cooperation agreement with them, and Itochu Yukio and the others will regard it as a betrayal. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Special Search Department used the name of investigating President Tao, but the original target was Fukumoto-san !"

"At that time, what will happen to us as traitors, because you can't cut off the connection with the past?" Takagi Hitohachi looked extremely loyal, "You and I will be compromised by Itochu Yukie and the others Abandon the bargaining chips of concessions, and face an unknown prison time! However, if we choose the current path, we will still have a future, a future that is better than the past! However, it can only be a little bit better, saving them a lot of time and energy!"

Horikawa Nobuhiko understood, and silently brewed a new cup of tea.

Gao Mu Renpachi fell down again: "Brother, I am indeed for myself and for you! You are stronger and more talented, and you will not easily accept their conditions. You will definitely try to fight hard. But your hard work, It is necessary to start the battle with Ito Chukobei and the others from the inside. If you win, they will have infinite tools against you. If you lose, the Daiichi Kanye Foundation will also be seriously injured."

"Brother Nobuhiko, it's not that I don't trust your ability! For so many years, you have always been the person I admire the most! But now you have seen who gathered together to carry out this plan, tell Renpachi!" Takaki Renpachi His acting skills exploded, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and helplessness, "Brother Nobuhiko, do you think you can win? Tao Dalang is like a ghost, just because of the Yueguangzhuang incident he mentioned when he came into contact with Haruka, Fukumoto has been killed in a short period of time. Xiong made an investigation, and let the clue of Haruno Takizo's death point to you!"

"Before that night, I always thought that Haruno Takizo's death was only caused by Akira Watanabe! Brother Nobuhiko, I must protect you!" Takaki Renpachi burst into tears, as if he had been shouldering the pressure of such a mission for so long Shan Da, "If my judgment is wrong, no matter how you punish me, I will be willing! But at that time, I recognized the reality!"

"Brother, it is impossible for us to rely on ourselves alone and become the masters like Ito Chuyubei and the others in our own lifetime!" Takagi Renpachi's eyes lost focus, "I succumbed, I think, I can be so much better than I am now A little bit is enough. So he proposed to let Yoko marry Uedo Yosuke, and I believed in their sincerity."

Horikawa Nobuhiko made the tea, picked it up silently and handed it to him.

After a long time, he asked: "At that time...they showed you the results of Takisan's investigation?"

Takagi Renpachi drank his tea silently and did not answer.

Horikawa Nobuhiko understood, and let out a long sigh.

After a long time, he said: "Ninhachi, you are different. That was just my early years, but you... are entrusting my future."

"...I never doubted that, Nobuhiko-san."

Nobuhiko Horikawa smiled bitterly: "It seems that this is also one of the reasons why you are shaken, and it is also the reason why Mr. Tao chose Hachiman Shrine to meet me."

Gao Muren thought to himself, who can say otherwise?During the day, you still pointed at me with a gun.

You can kill your foster brother for the sake of your future, how about me?

Horikawa Nobuhiko took a deep look at him: "During that period, there was no investigation about Fukumoto Yuo. That was also the time when I was most vigilant, so how did Tao Jun and the others know the clues to Takisan's death?"

Gao Mu Renpachi struggled for a while, and replied: "You know very well, I don't know these secrets. Brother Nobuhiko, Tao Yaren and Tao Qianren were there that night, and Jamie Dimon from Flower Bank was also there. Do you understand? Maybe they already knew these secrets about you. And they hope that our plan will succeed first, and even help us expel Ito Chuyubei and others from the future era."

Horikawa Nobuhiko understood, and looked up at the ceiling of the tea room.

The tea room has a ceiling, if not, you can only see a corner of the sky.

No wonder some people have been able to stay on top for so many years.And those who start from the grassroots and climb up, the limit of a lifetime, after not holding a position, can only win an inconspicuous position on the big table of the board of directors.

Below the second generation, if there are no outstanding talents and direct descendants, it will slowly die out.

It's a pity that I didn't understand some truths before, thinking that as long as I climbed up, it didn't matter what kind of means.

The things that have been done before will always leave traces, but there is no time to use them.

To those people, I'm afraid I've always looked like a clown, right?

Horikawa Nobuhiko smiled self-deprecatingly, now he completely understood Takaki Hitohachi.

He is worthy of being the successor he has been cultivating carefully, and there is no problem with his judgment.

So tomorrow is to apologize?

But when the time comes, he also has a question to ask Tao Dalang.

Horikawa Nobuhiko stepped back a little, and slowly fell down: "Ninhachi, thank you for your hard work. When I complete my mission, I'm afraid I will have to rely on you in the future."

Gao Mu Renpachi also fell down, facing him: "Brother Nobuhiko, I will be satisfied if you don't punish me. As for the future... I don't know what will happen."

He said this sincerely, he really didn't know what the future would hold.
